I think it's what I needed to finally get this nasty congestion and negative feeling out of my body!  Thank you!"

Turn Your Love My Way: Every Day As Thanksgiving Sharing and Gratitude

Turkey Power Animal Medicine (Giving, Giveaway)

ORIGINAL PUBLICATION DATE: November 26, 2015. 

Now that the deep duality that exists within us has been brought more fully into the light, it seems appropriate to remember our common values that this holiday inspires in personal and very practical ways.

Last year, I did not expect Thanksgiving to be celebrated in the usual way. Typically, it's been shared with my family (my two sisters, my brother, my aunt, my nieces and nephews who live in New Jersey). However, it was the first year that my brother (who died in January 2014) was not with us, and my aunt who died in 2013 would not be at the table, and my mother, and grandmothers, plus many other family and friends who have died many years ago are also passed on.

Instead, I spent it in Pennsylvania with a good and unconditional loving friend of mine, Holly, who I had been longing to see and spend time with for a while; and despite best laid plans for what to share doing on Thanksgiving, the Creator (God/Goddess/Great Spirit/Higher Power/Jehovah/Allah) had something else in store for us--though we didn't know what it would be. So I was set to expect the unexpected.

Our plan was to be of service by working in a soup kitchen or a shelter serving food to people who can't afford a traditional Thanksgiving spread for themselves or their families. Well, we learned that all the places serving food had all the volunteers they needed. This is good news! This had me thinking about the origin, the beginnings of what has become a national U.S. holiday, and how it's about SHARING and GRATITUDE.

Crow Power Animal Medicine (Sacred Law)

I'm thinking now about anyone who may be feeling low or sad about not being able to sit at a table in the traditional way on this holiday, because self-pity and guilt was beginning to snap at my heels because I wasn't celebrating with my birth family, and Holly and I were not needed to prepare and/or serve dinner as we planned. The image that the Creator awakened me to that Thanksgiving morning, was me sharing a piece/crumb/morsel of multi-grain bread with a crow. For those unfamiliar with animal spirit medicine, the CROW represents THE MESSENGER, SACRED LAW (and TURKEY represents GIVING, SHARED BLESSINGS, SACRIFICE). In that moment, I realized that nothing is too great or too small to share whether it's funding, housing, a ride, listening, food, a smile, a story, a free haircut (see post with video about Mark Bustos) whatever I have to share with any creature that is open to receiving the love that I turn their way (and that is turned mine. ALWAYS, 100% by my Creator).

In this spirit, I want to share with you a song and some words that I received from D.K. Brainard, a man I really like a whole lot, in his e-newsletter that he sent out with his own take on Thanksgiving last year titled, Miracles and Gratitude. Thank you D.K.! (Listen to D.K. as a guest on The Healing Artist Studio Project's Radio Channel. It's a podcast titled, "The Greater Reality: Soul Healing and More". Some highlights include: What has been the most challenging concept for us to accept in the Greater Reality consciousness? How close are we as adults to our childhood career dreams? Is "not being enough" an aspect of spiritual consumerism?)

Also, I remember one person I spoke with at one of the shelters on Thanksgiving sharing with me the fact that they have a great need for people to help prepare and serve food EVERYDAY, not just on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and other holidays. So this year, a friend and I are planning to volunteer on days other than the holidays.

Happy "Everyday is" Thanksgiving! Thanks to you all for what you've shared with me, and thanks to Godd, who for me, all blessings flow in one way or another.

But I love Thanksgiving because it's so easy for me to forget to be grateful for all the blessings in my life. The holiday itself is about food and relaxation and the fact that Life offers us lots of help - including from people we've never met and may never see again - if we're open to receiving it. I believe on some level the Native Americans knew what the white man was bringing their way. But Pocahontas and her tribe had compassion on the poor, suffering pilgrims anyway.

What's Up, Twelve?: Numerology & the Number 12 (3) by Stefanie Campione (Guest Blogger)

The Healing Artist Studio Project welcomes guest blogger, Stefanie Campione of Stefanina's Numerology! Stefanina describes what she offers as "Spirit Centered Readings, Coaching and Consulting". The majority of her clients are women in transition, who need career and relationship answers and guidance. 

In October, I was happy to introduce her book, The Power of Numerology: A Guidebook To Discover the Unknown You, that debuted on Amazon.com in the Top Ten of New Book Releases. The post includes an interview conducted on The Healing Artist Studio Project's radio channel. The women who received readings on the radio described her work as "Accurate" . . . "Amazing!" . . . . "I'm Speechless" . . . so without further ado, here's Stefanina's contribution to the question for November: What's Up, Twelve? (view the original post that led to exploring 12, that includes the interview with her in action!).

What's Up, Twelve? Numerology & the Number 12 (3) 
by Stefanie Campione, Stefanina's Numerology

One Plus Two Equals Three (1+2=3)
Can You Say Intuitive to the Third Power?
In numerology the 12 takes on three (3) energies: One (1) energy is about being the leader, boss, idea person, innovator and a little nasty. It's very intuitive. Two (2) energy is the power behind the power, the brains, the heart, kind and patient, but can be a (luna)tic at times. Also, it is an intuitive number. Three (3) energy is the lover, communicator, the one who doesn’t like to plan, lives for today, and enjoys the finer things in life. The three (3) energy can be very cranky at times and everyone around them will feel it. It joins one (1) and two (2) as an intuitive number. The number 12/3 holds the energy of self love.

One, Two, Three, Baby You and Me
The number one (1) is male dominant. The number two (2) is female dominant. The number three (3) is created when the one (1) and the two (2) are joined together. Therefore, the two (2, coupling) and three (3, creating) are love numbers.

Twelve is a Number of Completion and Spirituality
There is one common factor to the number 12 whether it is associated with chakras, the calendar, biblical, or numerology; this number is the number of completion. If you see the number 12 all around you, the universe is showing you it’s time to turn over a new leaf by wrapping it up, it’s done, it’s over, get a move on.

People with a 12 birth day, or destiny, or personality or attitude are very spiritual and have the ability to co-create; because you enjoy being the leader as well as working with a team. If you are born on the 12th day, you are usually the center of attention, are adaptable, energetic and professional in your work. You are perceptive when it comes to dealing with other people; you can see right through them.

Twelve (12) people are family conscious and are open and friendly, wearing your heart on your sleeve.  At times you can be very shy. Number 12 represents education on all levels, requiring the submission of the will as well as the sacrifice necessary to achieve knowledge and wisdom for your Spirit and Intellect.

Put it all together and you are someone who is meant to stand out, stand up and be noticed, be your own boss, lead by example, learn to ask for help, and have no problem saying what is on your mind. You need to use your heart in all you do and limit the time you stay in you head.  Love the work you do to the point where the money feels like it’s a reward for doing what you truly love.

Depending on the placement of 12 in your chart, you can be very faithful, loyal and honest.

In closing, I would like to say that the number 12 is a powerful, loving, spiritual, intuitive number.

If you have calculated your numerology numbers and discovered you have a 12/3 in your core numbers or attitude, the information provided in this article is a general interpretation and should not take the place of a professional numerology reading.  It is however a good place to begin and discover the unknown you…

************

So now, after reading this post, I see the number 12 as sealing the deal. Yeah, completing the form, a powerful spiritual form with a lot of clout whether it is 12 Disciples, 12 Astrology Signs, 12 Chumpi stones, 12 Chakras, 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, 12 Ideals, 12 Months, Angel Number 12, or 12 (fill in the blank).

Become informed and grow with Stefanina by gifting yourself what she offers via her web site and by purchasing her new book, The Power of Numerology: A Guidebook To Discover the Unknown You (Five Star Rating). The holidays are just around the corner. Blessings and Namaste.

Thank you, Stefanina!

LISTEN TO Touch of Grace with GD Grace on Blog Talk Radio to learn more about UNáTI Independent FilmWorks and our feature film Tucht that originally aired on Monday, June 23, 2014 at 1:30pm PT / 2:30pm MT / 3:30 CT / 4:30 EST. 

We must utilize Hollywood not only to Entertain, but to Educate & Inspire." ~Ossie Davis (Actor)

"UNáTI is truly Important & Heroic work." ~Maya Angelou (Author, Poet, Actress)

UNáTI is a Sanskrit word that means The Healing Power of the Performing Arts. Tucht is an independent feature film that has been garnering significant industry attention based on the exceptional reception of the script due to its controversial yet inspiring subject-matter and support from the makers of Oscar-winning films.

"Tucht is the Hero’s Journey story, and in the case of our film, it's the Heroine’s (the protagonist) and the Anti-Hero’s (antagonist) journeys, as well as those of three characters close to the protagonist. The question is: who will breakthrough the horrors of the past and present to an enlightened future, and who will not?”
~Valerie Michele Oliver, Director/Co-Executive Producer

Tucht is a psychological-thriller with dark-comedy elements inspired by the true-stories of eight (8) remarkable lives told through five (5) young adult characters who are child abuse survivors.

"As a survivor of multiple child abuse incidences, I can tell you that Tucht shines a light on the deep, destructive, chain-effect ‪PTSD‬ cycle; and how the powers of love and forgiveness can help survivors to BREAK that cycle."
~Valerie Michele Oliver, Director/Co-Executive Producer

New Concepts for the Golden Age of Aquarius: EGO

So many of us have experienced changes, are going through them now, and know there are more to come. As a healing artist, I have embraced what I am guided to term New Concepts For Our New Golden Age of Aquarius. The first one I am sharing with you is a new alchemy definition for Ego. EGO: Expanding, Grounding and Owning responsibility for the practical, physical, material and financial relationships in our lives in healthy and loving ways. Enough said.
